82 – Hunters and Hunters (4)
‘Ha, f*ck.’
I knew that woman’s ability to some extent, but I didn’t expect that she could burn her psychokinesis.
You can really call it a dog-like ability.
‘I heard that Ji-hyeon took care of that guy in his dream.’
I don’t know how to do that.
I just heard that it was simply dealt with.
“You are interesting too. I thought it was a support-type ability, but it even uses the telekinesis ability. Maybe it’s a completely different kind of power than support ability.”
He threw a dagger while speaking slowly.
“But it is not threatening. It doesn’t matter if there are more hidden abilities.”
Poof!
Three daggers flooded with white flames.
“Because you seem like the type that only relies on your abilities.”
It’s dangerous.
I reflexively tried to use my telekinesis to stop the dagger, but to no avail.
That flame was canceling the telekinesis ability.
It’s really like something.
“Hunters who rely only on their abilities are lacking in martial arts.”
I couldn’t deny that I depended only on my abilities.
I was training hard in my swordsmanship and marksmanship, but if I didn’t use my abilities, it would be difficult to deal with a low-level monster.
On the other hand, what about Hannah Kim?
Kim Hannah was strong enough even without using her abilities.
Kim Hannah, whom she had seen in her dreams, was also a master of the holy sword. She
She was able to crush an A-rank or higher hunter with only her sword skills.
A strong man who does not rely solely on his ability, but combines his own swordsmanship and ability.
That was Hannah Kim.
‘If you think about it now, top-notch hunters like Jihyun didn’t rely solely on their abilities… ….’
In the case of Jihyun, shooting.
In the case of Seoyoon, it is magic.
In the case of Ganghwaryun, fighting.
Did you say that people who rely only on their abilities, no matter how outstanding they are, are second-rate?
I heard that the top-notch first-class hunter should combine abilities and skills.
In that sense, Hannah Kim was first-class.
Because he created a new swordsmanship by combining his skills with his swordsmanship.
“Sir, don’t worry.”
At that time, Yerin calmly swung her sword and bounced off all the daggers with white sparks.
Yerin’s swordsmanship, which casually blocked three swords rushing at a speed so fast that she could not see her, was truly excellent.
Considering Yerin’s abilities, she shouldn’t have to learn swordsmanship…….
But Yerin doesn’t care about her own abilities, she has always shown herself honing her swordsmanship and taijutsu.
“I am here.”
Yerin declared with a firm voice as she swung her sword away.
“Teacher, I will protect you, so don’t worry.”
“I, I…… ?”
“Ah, I’ll protect you too…… Ping, no, it’s Mina.”
“You…… Did you just mean to say pingchang?”
She was Yerin, who was playing pranks on Mina with a smile as usual, but her emotion in her red eyes was anger.
Insidious shimmering anger flowed through her red eyes.
As if Mina noticed the fact, her body trembled.
But I realized that the anger was not directed at me.
Because Yerin’s vicious life was soaring toward Kim Hanna.
“It will be over soon, soon.”
“…… End soon? Me?”
Despite Yerin’s sad voice, Hannah Kim calmly replied as if nothing was wrong.
“Can you?”
A few more daggers were thrown at us.
With the sound of tearing through the air, sharp daggers struck.
Yerin swung her sword and knocked off the daggers one by one.
Tang! Ting! Tae-aeng!
With a cheerful metallic sound and orange sparks flying, the dagger was blocked.
Kim Hanna continued to throw her dagger away as if it didn’t matter whether it was a shield or not.
“Do you know why I came to the front without knowing your abilities?”
She threw her dagger with one hand and fired a pistol with the other.
Yerin clicked her tongue once and was busy deflecting her dagger and bullets.
Like a confrontation between a spear and a shield, a constant battle continued.
“I was confident that I could win.”
Kim Hanna laughed.
“I don’t know what your skills are…… It’s not meant to be used for long-distance attacks, is it?”
From noble mtl dot com
“… ….”
“You couldn’t stop that scavenger woman when she threw her sword at that man earlier.”
“… ….”
It’s a perfect song.
Because Yerin’s ability isn’t like that.
That’s why Yerin was vulnerable to ranged attacks.
If she wanted to attack Hannah Kim, she had no choice but to get close.
“Again…… “
Looks at me once.
“Isn’t that man your weakness?”
Kim Hanna endlessly threw her dagger and threw it again.
“If you want to attack me, you will have to approach…” … If you leave, don’t you think those two will become a hive right away?”
Maybe.
I can’t avoid Kim Hanna’s attack with my reflexes.
If Hannah Kim simply threw her dagger or she only threw a white flame, she could have stopped it.
The dagger is a telekinesis ability, and the white flame is an absorption ability.
However, the dagger imbued with white flame had no ability to stop it.
‘f*ck, this is a headache.’
She was a strong opponent, but I felt sorry for Yerin for no reason holding her back.
“If I had known this, I would have used that man as bait when I was stuck in the wall earlier. That would have made things easier.”
“Yes, Yerin. I’d rather use my ability and avoid it with my brother…….”
“No.”
Mina, who was inferior to her, secretly suggested an opinion of hers, but as if Yerin had nothing to listen to, she immediately cut Mina off.
“That woman. Aside from her abilities, she’s a pretty talented person.”
“Uh, huh?”
“That’s why even if you use your high-speed movement ability to escape, the route will be figured out right away. Then he would predict and throw the sword. It’s too dangerous.”
“I can’t… ….”
I could feel Yerin’s breathing getting quicker little by little. As she continued to focus on her defense, it seemed that her stamina was gradually wearing away. She felt that if she did this, she would get stuck.
“Stay within 3 meters of me. It is difficult to prevent more than that.”
“Oh, okay.”
Yerin lightly bit her lower lip.
“…… Ah. Are you waiting until you run out of daggers?”
The woman who had been shooting her dagger and gun in the distance for a few minutes gave a sneaky smile and she waved her hand regretfully.
“…… I’m sorry, but do you see these gloves? This is an artifact that creates a sword.”
“What?”
“…… That’s why the sword won’t fall.”
Hannah Kim spread her gloved hand, and with a swish, her sword was created.
“…… Keep blocking If you make even one mistake, those two are finished.”
“… ….”
“And see the floor around you? Is the fire spreading?”
Come to think of it, the sword that Yerin bounced off was stuck on the ground nearby, and the flames of the dagger were spreading around us.
If you continue like this, you will be engulfed in flames.
“If you keep blocking it like that, the fire will keep spreading in your direction. I think you can live alone…….”
“… ….”
“Why don’t you just throw those two away right now? Don’t you think it’s just a hindrance to you?”
“…… Shut up.”
At the words of Hannah Kim, who was gently scratching, Yerin spat out curse words for the first time.
“It’s really annoying since before.”
Suddenly, Yerin stretched out her left hand toward the air above her.
Then there was a thud and a sword stuck into the ground.
The sword suddenly fell out of thin air.
She stared blankly at Yerin’s longsword, which was pierced right in front of her eyes.
It was a long sword with a red glow.
The sharp edge of the sword bent into a curve.
It flashed yo-yo as if it had been permeated with demonic energy.
As if she hadn’t taken care of her for a long time, dark red blood was sticking here and there. Yerin touched the handle of her red sword once, and she drove it deeper into the ground. The ground was cracked and cracked.
Red light surged up from between the cracks.
The clusters of light came together to form an opaque curtain.
A red curtain spread out and wrapped around us.
“What is this?”
“It’s a protective barrier.”
Yerin glanced at the sword and continued her words.
“Because it is like a Noble Phantasm, it has several useful functions.”
That red sword.
I remember seeing it on the Internet.
Isn’t it one of the family heirlooms?
“That. Why do you have Aren’t they from your family?”
“…… I just got it when I left the house.”
Yerin answered while slightly averting her gaze.
“Uh, anyway, with this sword you will be fine for a while.”
Yerin cleared her throat and turned her gaze to stare at Hannah Kim.
Kim Hannah threw a dagger imbued with white flame, but she was only bounced off the red curtain.
White flames moved and caught fire here and there in the reddish curtain.
The veil was melting little by little, but it will take quite some time until it is completely burned.
“Awesome. Stopping that fire.”
“Maybe I can hold out for a few minutes. So I’m going to take that guy down quickly and come back. Teacher.”
After those words, Yerin’s new model disappeared.
I had only stepped on her a few times, but before I knew it, it had moved far away.
Was it Seombo (閃步), one of the steps of family names?
In an instant, she was a different Yerin right in front of Hannah Kim.
“It’s useless.”
Kim Han-na, as if she had expected it, with a calm expression, she twisted the dagger imbued with white flame with her reverse twist and swung it at Ye-rin.
“I think we can win if we approach…” … ?”
As if it was not false that he was famous as a master of swordsmanship, it was a neat and accurate horizontal slash.
Perhaps if it were me, she would have been killed without even reacting.
However, Yerin blocked Kim Hannah’s attack casually.
“…… Do you know we are alumni? I also learned the holy sword.”
The one-handed sword.
This is the traditional swordsmanship of the family of surnames.
Kim Han-na was a master of swordsmanship and mastered most of the swordsmanship.
It was clear that her swordsmanship skills were one of the best within the family.
Perhaps her basic swordsmanship skills are better than Yerin’s.
But she doesn’t have much to worry about.
That’s also true, because if Hannah Kim is a swordsman who values her swordsmanship, she will never be able to defeat Yerin.
“Huh?”
At that time.
Her brief exclamation echoed.
Me and Mina’s eyes turned to them.
“Oops.”
Yerin, who had been exchanging battles several times, looked down at her sword as she slightly stepped back.
“The sword melted.”
Yerin’s sword, mixed with blood and pure white flames, was melting in half.
“Did you defend it with flames the moment you cut it?”
“…… You? Uh, how?”
For the first time, Hannah Kim made a puzzled expression.
She hurriedly distanced herself from Yerin.
“He even melts his sword with flames, and his clothes are strong, so he doesn’t get cut easily. It’s a bit troublesome.”
“…… What did you just do?”
After taking a few more steps apart, Hannah Kim bit her lip and wrapped her left arm around her.
“I have been attached to this sword for a long time. A little regretful.”
“…… How, what, how did you do it?”
Blood dripped from her.
A red, sticky stream of blood gushed out.
The ground around her turned red.
‘It’s been a while since we fought.’
…… In the blink of an eye, Hannah Kim’s left hand was neatly amputated and was lying on the ground.
